El Encín Golf

El Encín Golf is one of the Madrid region's most accessible public courses, set on the banks of the Henares river near Alcalá de Henares. Managed by the Community of Madrid, the course offers an unusually democratic golfing experience in a region otherwise dominated by private clubs. The layout uses the natural terrain along the Henares valley, with tree-lined fairways and water features that demand thoughtful course management. Its public status and competitive green fees make it a popular choice for Madrid golfers seeking quality without membership commitments. The proximity to Alcalá de Henares — a UNESCO World Heritage city and birthplace of Cervantes — adds genuine cultural appeal for travelling golfers combining a round with sightseeing.
